How much can you write in a day?

July 22nd 2008 10:12
Well today I got myself a plot. And I decided that I'm going to see how much I can write in one day.

Here's my plot:

Anna-MC-is pretty, popular, and rich. She has everything going for her, including an extremely large trust fund for when she turns eighteen. She does well in school, gets everything she wants, and doesn't even fight with her seven year old brother. All is well in her world-

Until her mother up and leaves. With most of the money. All that's left is the hundred thousand dollars her dad had saved up when he married-and the trust fund for her and her brother that can't be touched. He turns to drinking and they fall into poverty until he hooks up with another wealthy woman-but she's a manipulative bitch.


To top that off, she's been thrown into part time work and has suddenly fallen in love with the written word-which, in her world, means complete disownership from her dad. And, if she announces it too soon-the entire trust fund will be lost.

I'm going to see how much I can write in one day. I challenge you to do the same.

I'm guessing I can smash out about 500 words an hour...Well thats what I used to be able to manage when I was at uni. But that involved referencing too.

Lets say 1000 words an hour?

Sorry but I don't have the time or the inclination. I'm not at all sure that I can type fast enough anyway.

But I can churn out the words, but I'm not sure that this is of any value.

But go for it Dianna and Timmy, see what you can do.

I take it you'll not be sleeping, eating and all of those ornery interruptions.

Katyzzz,

Well, not sleeping. Eating is fine; so is drinking. But sleeping takes like three hours. There isn't enough time in a day for that!
